So I'm sad no one has mentioned this yet. It was released on xbl and psn this week passing, and consists of both arcade games released years ago, Tower of Doom and Shadows of Mystara. Local and online drop in/out multiplayer, full english text, and new features to be unlocked....it's the perfect pre-dragon's crown workout to get into the swing of side scrolling beat em ups. There's a demo for it up on both systems to give a try.

This has been the only game I've played in the last 3 days. It was mostly due to lack of time, not the addictive-ness of the game, but it is totally great. For a beat-em-up it has a lot of content and I am constantly pleased with the little details. The animation is really good, it shows off all of the things Capcom learned on the CPS2 hardware. The fighting is fun and requires the perfect amount of skill, yes you can beat the game if you're not that good, but the combat is very rewarding especially with all of the point bonuses and treasures you can get if you play well. A fun little couch co-op experience.I wouldn't really consider it an RPG, but y'know this site does what it wants and we get Dragon's Crown coverage, so I'm okay with that. Does anyone know what the Dwarf yells when he is knocked down? Is a D&D reference I don't get? All I hear is "ARC-SLOB!" or maybe "ART-SNOB!"
